Las Vegas Buffets - The New Day Pass Trend - Is it Worth It?
The most recent trend in this city, particularly along the Strip, is that most all-you-can eat restaurants now offer a day pass. Basically, from about 20 dollars (for the cheapest restaurants) all the way to 29.99, the majority of restaurants will offer you a day pass; this means you can visit as often as you like. Is it worth it?
Las Vegas Buffets - The New Day Pass Trend - Is it Worth It?
Well, first of all 2 of the top 'all-you-can-eat' do not bond to this 'bonanza': both the Bellagio and the Wynn's don't offer this. Some other top restaurants do and it may still be worth while if you plan to stay at the same resort and eat at the same resort all day long (but read on because there is an exception to this). If, however, you plan to sample several restaurants, it is obviously not worth it, unless you eat 3 times a day and each time you eat a lot!
If you are trying to save money it is still better, in our opinion, to use one of the many 2-for-1deals or 5-dollars off deals you can absolutely find (more on this later). The only exception is, perhaps, the Harrah's 24-hour Day Pass: this pass is not only valid 24 hours, but also valid at any of their all-you-can eat places. This means that, if you plan your restaurant visits, you can eat 4 times for the price of this 24-hour-restaurant pass (29.99). Then, in this case, it's a good deal, although you will probably need one week of fasting after such a gastronomic binge! However, beware because all of the Harrah's all-you-can-eat places have now decreased in capability (probably because of this offer).
How does the 24-hour-restaurant pass work?
You purchase your 24-hour pass at any of the Harrah's all-you-can-eat (Flamingo, Caesars, Harrah's, Planet Hollywood, Imperial Palace, Bally's, Paris); you will be given a wrist band which they will scan each time you go in. You will, however, still have to line up each time and be given a restaurant receipt so that the host/hostess can seat you.
What we like to do is the following: purchase the pass at dinner, at the Caesar's Palace restaurant, the most high-priced restaurant (very small, very nice and beautiful, but we would not go unless we had a special deal because of the lack of value for money); then go to morning meal in any place else amongst the Harrah's places the following day and go again for lunch (rolling onto dinner), ideally the Paris (amongst the top 2 all you can eat amongst the Harrah's Group). This way you will have maximized your 24-hour restaurant pass. If you can do it, go ahead. It's very hard on your stomach though!
If you rule that you wish to try other ways to Eat Cheaply In Vegas, you will probably conduct to save even more money. Either way, you will enjoy this great gastronomic city!
